A Guide To The Up And Coming Every class is scared to death when it first enters the hallowed halls of high school - except the 1978 freshman class. In fact, they sometimes acted more like seniors than the seniors. They were active in FHA and Pep Club, and handled po- sitions of responsibility well. Freshman were a large part of the football, volleyball, basketball and track teams. They were very self con- fident. One girl made a habit of cutting in front of seniors in the lunch line (an appalling breach in high school protocol). An- other instructed a three- year veteran of the basket- ball team in the fine art of free throw shooting. Despite their outward maturity in many ways they were just ordinary 14 year olds. They developed crushes on upperclassman. They ran in the halls, talked too loudly and had trouble finding their lock- ers. Some had trouble staying awake in class after 6:00 (A.M.) basket- ball practice. And one boy defined a freshman as a person who comes from puny to big. Yvonne Quinton called freshmen the lower half of the sen- iors. Freshman officers are (Top) Jeanette Erichsen, (Right) Jolita Martinez, (Left) Jeff Keating, (Not pictured) Ron Shanley 6

Overall they showed a lot of promise for °n The iwowns uPward The sophomore's opin- ions on the state of their class were diverse, to say the least. But generally they didn't show much faith in their abilities. And a few didn't show much love for their classmates. The contrast among the stu- dents in their class was interesting because several appeared to be efficient and enthusiastic. Many members of the sophomore class were very involved in school clubs and activities — in fact, they were so involved that tney were la- beled goody -goodies by some of the other students. The class of 1980 had several money-making pro- jects in preparation for next year's prom. In early November they earned 300 the future. A lot of them were active in school but they escaped notice. Who knows, maybe still waters run deep. Marjorie Kinser writes a few encouraging French words.
